So you finish your workout and your fabulously motivating coach calls
"Ok keep moving, we are pumping that blood back to the heart - Don't just stop...
The heart can overload if we stop suddenly! But most importantly we need to slow the heart and regain calm breathing to move into our very important stretch session"!
As you move into your cool down and stretch the instructor congratulates the class.
"Great job today everybody!! Let's make sure we don't end up sore and sorry for ourselves tomorrow gang by investing into some deep tissue release work- I'll talk you through how to maximise your stretches so we can make sure you are not sore the next few days & your body recovers well from all your hard work!"
" So now Let's focus! We Relax and breathe into our stretch to isolate that muscle Yes-in this position- yes that's right now hold relax breathe! Perfect - Feels good right? Great job!"
You may have experienced that sore all over feeling for a few days after sport? Your body is locked up and continues to leave you feeling sore and achy days to come...not so fun!
Something you will NEVER hear your PT say is "Ok to stretch your hammies lets take the leg out and hold- Now hold your breath and squeeze your Abs as hard as possible.....
No? No real surprises here is there. We must relax to release & breathe to allow the muscles to neurologically stretch and let go- or we are just going through the motions without achieving any changes!
Fight and Flight is not conducive to helping the body relax lengthen or stretch- in fact it will 100% block this from happening- the result- ripping and tearing and a nervous system that learns bodywork means pain- brace and do not breathe!!
Massage as an Assisted Stretch Program
Our post work out cool down and stretch program is a vital part of staying fit flexible and powerful in our movement systems and postural alignment. Using the correct stretching technique is absolutely essential to relax & release our muscles s they return to a flexible supple and healthy resting state.
When we fail to stretch effectively our muscles will set in a tight, shortened state and remain like that. Over time we loose flexibility & this is a pre-cursor for inquiry & reduced sports performance & daily pain with restricted range of motion and just a tired tense feeling.
We gradually loose an energetic movement system with reduced power range of motion. We become weak, easily tired & loose flexibility & strength in our entire body. - not just when we train - but in daily life activities.
So lets work smarter and not harder!
Massage is essentially a stretch program where we warm up the tissues and increase blood allowing blood & O2 to flow deeply into muscles so we can retore soft flexible muscle tissue. This can take months of weekly massage if we have not been diligent in our stretching post cool down routines over the years.
The good news is that massage is the game changer that can restore powerful sports performance, restore supple flexible muscles, relieve aches & pains & bring balance and postural integrity back to body by addressing compensation patterns and restoring healthy postural movement patterns, powerful pain free movement & strong supple muscles!
